IN THE

TENTH COURT OF APPEALS

No. 10-07-00236-CV

Evelyn Little,

                                                                                    Appellant

 v.

Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice AND

Gary Johnson Executive Director,

                                                                                    Appellees

From the 278th District Court

Walker County, Texas

Trial Court No. 21,013C

            A bound document presented by appellant, Evelyn Little, as her brief and filed on December 2, 2009 is stricken because it fails to comply with the requisites of a brief.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(a)-(j).  While the document contains some headings similar to what would be required in a brief, the Court is unable to discern what issues Little has presented for review and the location of her argument for those issues with appropriate citations to the record and authorities.  See Tex. R. App. P. 38.1(e) & (h). 

            Little is ordered to redraw her brief and file a brief compliant with Rule 38.1 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure no later than 5:00 PM on February 1, 2010.  A faxed brief will not be permitted. 

            If Little files another brief that is not compliant with Rule 38.1, the Court will strike the brief, proceed as if she had not filed a brief, and dismiss the appeal.  Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(a)(1); 38.9(a).  

                                                                                    PER CURIAM

Before Chief Justice Gray,

            Justice Reyna, and

            Justice Davis
